Biography
Emily Ferrant was born in South Bronx, The Bronx, New York City in 1985 to a poor family of Puerto Rican descent. Ferrant dropped out of high school due to poor grades, and she got into trouble often due to her use of drugs, her underage drinking, and her affairs with numerous boys. Due to her family's poverty, Ferrant decided to sell her body to men, performing sexual services in exchange for money. Ferrant was pimped by a Spanish Lords gangster, and she was told to walk the streets of South Bronx at night to search for a customer.

One night in 2008, Luis Fernando Lopez pulled up to her as she walked down a sidewalk, and he honked his horn. Ferrant and Lopez went for a drive, and Ferrant had sex with Lopez in his car in exchange for $70. Lopez wanted his money back after their one-night stand, and he proceeded to take out a baseball bat and attack Ferrant. He struck her repeatedly and stomped on her, killing her. Medical services were alerted after some passers-by saw her body lying in the alleyway next to a Panoramic electronics store on the border of South Bronx with Hunts Point; her murder in Hunts Point was just five yards from South Bronx. Lopez was never charged with her murder, as he had left the scene.
